Using thread that winds off 
quickly

When using thread that winds off quickly, such as 
transparent nylon thread or metallic thread, place the 
enclosed spool net over the spool before placing the 
spool of thread onto the spool pin.
If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the size of the 
spool.
