I have the top threading needles. They are soooo handy for burying threads. I put the needle in at the base of the thread I want to bury and lead it into the batt for an inch or so and back out again. Then the thread goes in at the top. Sometimes I have to brace the tip of the needle against something hard, as the thread has to snap into that top. Then just pull the needle through and the thread goes with it. If there is thread left now, cut it off at the surface of the quilt. I can bury a thread that is half an inch long with this needle.
