Add Space to Fit adds blank space between each pattern tile to apply the pattern 
proportionally to the path.
Approximate Path (for rectangular paths only) fits tiles to the closest approximate path 
without changing the tiles. This option applies the pattern slightly inside or outside the 
path, rather than centered on the path, to maintain even tiling.

choose Thumbnail View from the palette menu.)
Drag the artwork to be used as the side tile onto the Brushes palette.
Select New Pattern Brush, and then click OK.
In the Name text box, enter a name for the brush (up to 30 characters), and then 
click OK.

appropriate section of the entry for the brush in the Brushes palette, and then click OK 
after adding each tile. The side tile already appears in the second section. Alt-drag or 
Option-drag artwork for the outer corner tile to the first section. Alt-drag or Option-drag 
artwork for the inner corner tile, start tile, and end tile to the remaining sections.
