No, you're not going about it wrong. Lots of people do just as you did (and are going to do). Some (like me) just toss them in loose. Then use a stainless scrubbie on the end of the racking cane to filer out the hops. Sounds to me like you're right on track.

If it is the same size hopsack I use just leave it and throw it out with the rest of the gunge when you have finished bottling
Yeah, thats what I did, just left it in and then threw it out with the baby...
