The other trick is to cut the thread on an angle - I know most will think that the thread is so thin that it wouldn't make much difference but it does!!
My sewing threads are always cut for threading the machines with a small pair of 'embroidery' scissors.
It's kinda like tapering amsteel for burying...
At this point in life, it's not how stiff the thread is or is not, it's being able to see the hole in the needle that requires the glasses...
