Yep. I always twist my loop towards me, so the string will be twisted away from me. Then I flip it around, after the first loop is complete, and hold it the same way and twist the loop towards me, and the sting away from me. That way, they are twisted the same way. So when you twist up the string to shorten it, the loops tag ends actually tighten a bit and dont come loose.
