How do I make cloth bags from pig tails?

What are the steps to go from pig tails to cloth bags? The wiki says the process plants/thresher skill is used to turn the pig tails into thread. I used the spin thread task, and my dwarf that has plant processor enabled has never gone and done it.

The step-by-step guide to turning pig-tails into useable cloth is as follows:

1. Grow pig-tails, or order your herbalists to scrounge the caverns for 'naturally grown' pig-tails.

2. At a Farmer's Workshop (b-w-w), order a dwarf to process plants, turning the raw plant into usable plant threads. This task requires the "Thresher" labor

3. At a Loom (b-w-o), order a dwarf to weave cloth (plant thread). This task requires the "Weaving" labor.

4. At a Clothier's Workshop (b-w-k), finally you can order a dwarf (with the clothesmaking labor) to make cloth bags. (Select cloth, rather than silk or yarn, and then select bag, which is either 'n' or 'b').
