Huh?
If the thread is cross wound onto the spool, it's meant to come off the end. If it is stacked wound, doesn't cross over itself, it's meant to come off the side of the spool. Most of the time it's not critical if it comes off the side. The only threads I know of that it's critical to use them either horizontal or vertical are metalics and invisibles.

The only ones I know of that MUST be used the way they are wound are metalics and invisibles.

Sorry for the confusion. No question really. Never paid any attention to how thread was wound on a spool. It was meant as a comment, more like a huh, how about that. The question mark probably should have been an exclamation mark but that seemed a overkill.
What's your question? Stack wind comes off the side of the spool. Cross wind comes off the end of the spool.
