About that notch in the spool--get out your emery board and file it down or off. Gets rid of the stress and notch.
Welcome to quilting--you will have more good days than bad.
Just laugh the day off--my motto is that if I can't laugh at it, it's not worth doing. Now about that notch--when I put the spool on my machine I put the notch on the bottom of the thread stem or to the back--and as the thread feeds from the top or front of the spool, I never have a problem with it sticking in the notch!
