I recently got Meisen ultra fine linen thread, as recommended. Very nice! However, it rolls around so much it is very hard to pierce. Sometimes takes me many, many tries.Is there some trick to more quickly being able to nail that sucker? (Haven't had this with other threads.)

Yes it is very tightly twisted. The trick is to make sure and pinch it with one hand and with the other hand twist it but make sure you pinch only a few mm away from where you other hand is pinching it. this way you really force the twist only in this small part.
I figured out a solution! I am such a newbie that I didn't realize I was using a rounded tip needle. I switched to a pointed tip now. (Both John James) and it is much easier. Dah!
