HC4U taught me this trick this fall, and it works wonders. The only thing I'd add to this most excellent description is that I stop the figure 8 coil with enough free cord left to wrap tightly around the coil bundle for at least a quarter or so of its length, taking special care to trap the other free end well under it. The last turn is slipped under the prior turn to hold it.
