Here's my thoughts on your issue.
I think you want to use pattern along path to solve this. This is what you need to realize thought. Your pattern along path will not define a "fillable" border. The pattern along path will be its own shape with it's own fill and stroke properties. You can make it look like it's filled by putting color behind it.
I've attached an example.
1. Make square with rectangle tool. 2. Object to path. 3. Draw bezier curve. 4. Group Paths. 5. Make "brush" - circle tool, object to path, add lots of nodes. 6. Pattern along path - setting single, stretch, snake. 7. Adjust nodes to clean up effect if desired.
Hope it helps.

Hello all... Sorry if this question is unclear/confusing and if it is rather simple, but for the life of me, I've not been able to do it.
I have a closed path (by that I mean a shape with a "closed" border, a border in all faces), my problem is that I want to add a line which crosses the shape from one side to the other, but I want to do it so that the line seems to be a continuation of the border (and ideally become part of the shape or object), the problem is that I don't know how could I do this? Heck, I'm not sure if I make any sense at all... Thus far I've tried drawing a single line with the bezier tool, but trying to "merge" the line with the rest of the shape using the stroke tools doesn't yield the desired effect... And I'm quickly running out of ideas, maybe what I want is not possible and I'll have to manage both parts (the shape and the line) as different objects grouped together, or it is possible, but I haven't found how... Any hints?
