Richard,
 
I usually do 2 to 2 1/2 coils.  I'd rather have too few coils than too  many. 
 Unwinding bass string coils ain't much fun.
 
I don't use a winder, I just use a dummy tuning pin.  With this  method, it 
is easy to keep track of where you are in relation to your  target pin.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Dave Stahl

I had three coils on the pin, and was able to unwind enough to get the  
string over the hitch pin.

What you describe is correct assume you pulled the top of the string up  to 
the right pin, used the fat part of your fingers and only made about 1  1/2 to 
2 turns on the coil maker, if you make all three turns it becomes  very hard 
to stretch the string up and over the in-piano pin. Were you able  to unwind 
the coil a little and get it on?
