Not on a longarm. My bernina doesn't even have that little tab on one side, there are much smaller ones on either side of the hole. All that is important is making sure the thread is under the spring like in Watson's 2nd pic. On my Innova, the thread wouldn't even stay under that tab when I tried to move it there.
Just found this pic, even though this site is for Singer, this is what the bobbin case looks like for my bernina. No thread running under any tabs, just under the spring.

Will see if I can hunt down a pic for the larger size M class with a case that looks more like the Innova and Watson's.
