Jib sheet attachment

I hope you don't get too excited when you see you have a reply here , but I have just fished out Brion's book to answer the same question, so can't wait for a proper answer.
Am I right in thinking all the line has to pass through the hole made by the fid, and if so is there an easier way?

Based on the Apprentice and prior Spartalk postings, I switched from bowlines to buntline hitches for the genoa sheets. The buntline hitch is very compact and is much less likely to hang up on the shrouds. It's also very secure, so secure that it takes some work to get the sheets off at the end of the season.
