I use fishing line and need to hide the knot inside a bead. I would think that I would do the same thing with beading nylon. I am not fond of the look of crimp beads in jewelry...would rather learn how to do wrapping with wire on the end (or fancy hang man noose type of knots?)I just stick to hiding the knots inside a bead for spangles.

If you could resolve those issues, then I think it would work fine.
