All that bending, cutting to length and doubling back (Taylor and Martin), is a waste of time, and pointless. The way I have always done it is so quick, simple and stable that it takes less time to put on a string than it does to type this.
Do the bridge bit, bring the string up to the tuner keeping it taut (to minimise wraps), two wraps around the post BEFORE feeding the free end through the hole ABOVE the wraps, pull free end tight to lock, tune to pitch, stretch, repeat until there's no slack left, snip off excess, job done. Try it.
