i do the loop swoop thing...although i never knew it was called that! but i use the bunny ears method when i'm tying a bow on something that i want to look pretty (ex. a present). it seems to look nicer and more even.
has anyone seen Raising Helen? this thread totally reminded me of the littlest girl who would always cry because she couldn't remember how her mom taught her to tie her shoes..ZTA Mich, i think your way is how she was taught in the movie: "over, under, around and through, meet mr. bunny rabbit pull and through"
