Jack, pulling fibre from the pstems is the same process you'd use for any other bast fibre (linen, hemp, etc.) - the hard work with banana fibre is in selecting the correct weights of fibre from the retted mass. The coarsest stuff is only good for rope and sackcloth, and as you work your way towards the center of the stem you get weights similar to silk. It's great stuff.
