Lofting and stitching help

I cannot get the surfaces in this picture to loft or stitch. The loft creates a new body but that body doesn’t seem to be doing anything. I can’t use it to machine the fillet or anything. The stitch always tells me that the lines intersect too many times and I cannot select the ones I want.

Hard to tell from just a pic,  but if you are following Austin's video, he uses a patch to close up the bevel, not a loft.  You may be able to close that up with a loft, or multiple lofts,  but lofts like to be 4 sided,  when you introduce the pointed ends the loft can get funky.

 

BTW,  it's much easier to diagnose problems when the file is attached.

What if you use Patch rather than Loft?

Of course the actual file in required to definitively diagnose the issue.
