would these work good for Tie-Dying?

i'm not sure. they have polyester in then. i would think all cotton would be more desirable for tie-dying .

I only have these in colors. I've never tie dyed but I've heard that cotton is the best fabric for this. These cases feel very soft after laundering so I assume they have a lot of polyester in them. I looked on the cases but could not find a tag that gave the breakdown of cotton/poly. If you have experience with dying synthetic fabrics you can certainly try it on these.

Yes if they aren't used much. It is a good song velcro.... But not meant for sewing. Hope that helps!

I am honestly not sure, but I don't think they will be very useful for that purpose. The reason I say this is because I do not know how you will manage to get the clip itself to stay in place. I sewed them unto a track, and clipped the track into my hair.

Yes, I used them on jeans and it worked great keep in mind I used a fabric puncher to get a good hole. Found on Amazon for $8

Yes I don't think you'd have a problem tie dying the bags. Of course I would do a test bag first.

Yep. I use them for all sorts of cables, like USB or Ethernet cables behind a desk or in a laptop bag. I often cut the ends down to about 2-3" long. That is still good enough to wrap around 5 loops of cable at least twice. Unless the cable is very this I can cinch them down enough so they don't slide easily on their own, but a drop of superglue might help keep them from sliding at all. Great ties!

i have not, but wouldnt see why that wouldnt work - i acutally purchased them to use as a craft - with fabric markersive dyed other things and i think that would work fine on these

I don't know. They seemed pretty soft to me. You could always wash them before dying them. I think the feedback had several comments about people who successfully tie-dyed them.

I think they would work really well. They make really nice lines and go on very smoothly. The tips do get a little shredded on rougher fabrics.

Maybe so. I tend to use these to the point that they are beginning to decompose. It seems like they would break down as easily as paper at that point, especially if you cut it down in size. (Our compost pile has too much brown matter to process paper well.)

Joel, they should be depending on your eyesight. I'm using them for tiny work very similar to fly tying.

yes they will work fine for that. although if i were going with that small of a gauge then i would use micro-sheers, e.g as these - Xuron 410 Micro-Shear Flush Cutter

I'm sure they would. I got them to cut very thick fabrics and they work like a charm. They are so easy to use. It would take me forever to cut the fabric for the blankets I make. I would definitely recommend getting them.

I think they would work pretty well. Just sew on ties and you would be good to go.

Some reviews mentioned them falling apart when washed, so you might want to avoid tie dying. We put cardboard inside and used colorful sharpie markers. Kids stenciled or drew their own thing. Then we gave them the choice to either leave them as they were or drip alcohol over the drawing. Markers then ran and gave an effect similar to tie dye. This is not the website I used but it looks even better. We only needed them for very light duty so it didn't matter that they were cheap. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=enISuVlmD6M

I've never tied a fly, but I use these magnifiers for PCB soldering work, and I'd guess they'd be great for tying flies. The magnification and light made it super easy for me to see the pcb traces and if I bridged solder where I shouldn't have.

HMMMMM..... I use these for just about every sewing/quilting job I have. BUT I'm using fabric, not satin cord or chain. You are concerned that they would crush the chain or cord? They should work great, but try w/ something not important first???
