    It depends how big the beads are and how fine the piece is going to
    be in the end.  I like to knot most of the time.  You could always
    knot intermittently just for support. Also aesthetically knots add a
    different feel to faceted beads. When you knot it gives it a finer
    appearance but if the beads are too small the knots might overpower
    the look of the piece(so the intermittent knots are used). You can
    contact me off group if you have more detailed questions. I use the
    silk stringers method and hardly use nylon when knotting.-T
