I'm trying to create rope in Photoshop. I used the pen tool to create this basic shape, which I saved as both a custom vector shape and as a custom brush:

If you string enough of these together, you get a reasonable simulation of rope, like below. If I set the brush spacing to about 60%, I can draw any length of rope in seconds.  However, when I increase the brush size beyond how I originally created it, the brush edges start to pixelate badly, like the blue section below.

Every other brush in Photoshop stays sharp at any size.  I can't seem to find instructions for how to create a custom brush that will stay sharp at any pixel size.

Anybody know how to do that?
