Default Wine Kits with "Crushendo"

I'm currently experimenting with a few of the higher end wine kits that come
with wine skins or crushendo. These kits come with a mesh filter to place
over the end of the siphon to help filter out the solids when racking. There
was an awful lot left at the bottom of the tub when racking off for the
first time. For the second batch I thought about doing things a little
differently. Should I: 1) place the wine skins in cheese cloth and put this
into the tank for the initial fermenting, remove and strain out the juice or
2) rack off the wine and then place the skins in a cheese cloth and strain
juice into the tank for the second fermentation? 3) Another way?

TIA

JB
