Gaps in pattern brush

[benj64842027]

I´m trying to create a pattern brush consisting of following. But as you can see, there is significant gaps in the corners of the pattern. I searched for solution and someone suggested to place a no fill/no stroke square to border the image...but this doesn´t do it either. Can someone help me out?

Try expanding the strokes before creating the pattern tile.

That doesn´t do anything, unfortunately

Here's a file that shows the difference I'm seeing:

This is how the tiles should allign:

Your example, while improved a bit, is still not alligned correctly.

Oh, terribly sorry.

You could draw a rectangle behind the artwork. (Outline view & preview)

Set it to no fill, no stroke

Then make pattern brush.

Thank you very much! I already tried this but didnt bring the rectangle to the back. This did it.
