In a pinch, I have even used a drinking straw. It fits over the spool holder and extends out enough for a cone. You can cut the straw to fit your large spool. I have used it many times on my FW and Viking with absolutely no trouble at all.

I put my cones in an empty coffee can. Have a large safety pin taped to the rear of my machine (behind where a spool would go) and I feed the thread thru the pin's hole before doing the machine threading.
I had no luck at all with various stands and I had 3 different ones.

yes you can either buy a large spool holder that sits behind your machine and you thread it just like you would with reg. thread on your machine. I teach a class here and so my husband made several out of 2x4 piece and a small dowel to hole the thread and a wire hanger cut off with a round section on top to run the thread through, a lot cheaper. the 2x4 just makes it sturdy you could use a thinner piece
