Find thread hole of sewing machine needle

My old sewing machine is a kind of Volkswagen, it runs and runs ... I do not know a modern machine, maybe it works better threading the thread.

I read somewhere that when threading with a regular needle, you should hold it in front of a white piece of paper. Then you can see the tiny hole better. I've tried that on the sewing machine. Works great! However, the end of the thread with a super sharp scissors must be cut off smoothly, at fransigem end, the threading is always difficult.
