spool cap should be used as illustrated below.
Make sure that the spool notch is on the bottom.

CAUTION
Before using a thread spool, be sure to remove the
spool cushion.
Before using loosely spun nylon thread, be sure to
install the spool cushion.
If the thread spool cap is not fully pushed down,
the thread may become entangled on the spool pin
or the needle may bend or break.
Spool mat
When using thread spools or loosely spun thread
that easily slips off the spool, place this mat under
the spool.
This prevents the thread from becoming entangled
on the spool pin.
Using the spool mat
1. Remove the spool cushion, and then place the
spool mat on the spool pin.
2. Place the thread spool (with the spool notch at
the bottom) on the spool pin, and then place the
thread spool cap on top and fully push it down.
