Hello,

I've been trying to create a seamless pattern braid brush in black and white as well as with color fills and a dark outline. However, I can't figure out how to do so without having seams appear between sections. Maybe it's something simple that I'm overlooking. Any advice would be welcome!

Thanks,

Janeen

No you don't. But you have to get rid of the vertical lines.

It will work best when you make a repeat like this:

But it can also work when you do it like this (with the invisible rectangle):

You'll just have to be more careful.

Illustrator uses an unfilled/unstroked rectangle in the background of your artwork for the repeat.

So whatever you do, put that behind your design. The design can be larger than the rectangle. In order to get rid of those lines: use an open path and then stroke it (so that this line simply is not there).

Thanks so much for your advice! In order to get rid of the lines, do you mean I need to use the pen tool to redraw the braid sections?
