Use extreme caution if you run it from the right side of the machine. It can get rapped around the fly wheel and freeze up your machine, possibly even burn out a motor. I had a customer do this once!
You can by a vertical thread stand to sit behind your machine and still run it on a horizontal machine. It would depend on the threading pattern of your machine as exactly how this would look. The Husqvarna Viking actually has a little 'clip' you can snap into the cover that holds the thread in place.
Hope this helps.
