    Default Brush patterns

    I am a fashion illustrator and am drawing very detailed sketches of garments for quality specifications. I have designed a pattern brush to simulate a overlocking stitch detail. When I added it to 4 straight lines in the drawing the file size increased from 528kb to 2024kb. Is there a logical explanation why this would happen. Does anyone know what I can do to reduce the file size and still use the brush pattern. I have tried expanding it but doesn't make much difference. If I delete the brush pattern from the library it removes 1500+kb from the file size.

    I have not had this problem before with illustrator, has anyone else. I am Interested in finding a solution or an answer to the problem.
