Thread coming off a cone should be fed up (not from the side). Thread nets prevent thread from pooling down below the spool end and keep the thread feeding up smoothly.
Actually this dunce here always thought that the mesh covers were used to STORE the thread to keep it from causing loose thread webs all over the place. My face is red!
Still chuckling from the use of condoms.
