I have both of these kinds of needles and if I have to bury a small portion. I dethread the needle then work the needle in where only the top inch with the eye is left out. I use the needle threader to pull the small bit of thread through the eye then pull the rest of the needle through and you have buried the thread. If I see ahead of time I'm going to have to bury then I work it through and kind of scrunch the fabric to where I can snip the thread and it's automatically buried.
