[ Branched ] cannot create a pattern without gap

[mariav12771536]

So you know how to make the pattern 'butt joint'?

When I am creating the patter stroke I select 0% spacing yet still leaves this small annoying gap

I am product spec'ing a jewellery chain and need to be completely continuous - The pattern in on the left and on the right is the stroke showing the gap 

Thanks!

Please create a new thread. Your issue is not the same as in this thread. Also it looks like you are asking about pattern brushes.

Put an invisible rectangle in the background like so:

Alternatively use artwork like this:

But there also needs to be an invisible rectangle in the background and stroke endings of the open paths should be rounded.

I'll try that! 

You are a star!
