    You show how to get the string out of the loop. 3 others before watching you, glossed over that. Its the key to it all. Thanks. Now I'm smarter than the bag.

    Keeps getting bewildered when people try to explain the different string stitches in regard to which one to pull. This video, ‘the front of the bag looks like this and the back looks like this, now open from the right’. So simple!! Thank you.

    Ha ha I learnt or rather thought I did at 74 but it kept being a puzzle. I did not take on board the single line R side instead of trying both side.
    And now at 77 i'm back at it with basmati rice bags ('should call them rat bags!)! Yes NEVER on the 'looped' side, but SINGLE line side! Although sometimes it still is a struggle with fine threads. But I saw another video with a chook pellets bag. And all he does is cut the right spot as described against the R end of the bag, then just pulls the end of each thread on both sides of the bag at the same time! Hmmm...
    Thank you for your very clear video anyway :)
    Wow now I found my 5 years old post below mine now and I had forgotten about. It seems I unlearn faster than I learn:(

    Thanks. I see it's like the "electricians braid". The trick is pulling that first string/cord. It must be through the "right loop" which is obvious if you take a minute to observe.
