Urgent help pls

Hello,

I wonna make a shhpe that has two faces, one on top and one on the bottom... they are both different as you cna see in the screenshot...
What I want to do is have a pattern (as youc an see secodn screenshot) taht goes in bewteen them all around teh edge... I used the Chris Fullmers plugin "component stringer to get teh pattern to go all around nicely but I want the patter to be thinner in some places... I have no idea how to do it... Iw as thinking maybe if I had the pattern follow two lines (edges of each of the top and bottom faces) then it could of been done quicker and more efficent.

Thank you,

Milo

Here you can see the top is perfectly aligned

Here you can see the space in bewteen where the pattern should go around

As you can see here the pattern is not alligned with the bootom face

Here's a similar example made with some curves, albeit in several sub-steps, using ExtrudeEdgesByRails.rb...
