I don't have your machine, but here is how I do mine.
This was an inexpensive thread stand and I have had it for years (I think it is a Dritz) -- it has a thin enough spindle for the minicones too.
I was having problems with thread breaking or jumping out of the tension disks so I started using the clips to hold the thread in position to give a good run into the tension disks.
Hope this helps.
This is the cone with the spool.

I use the clips to keep the thread on track to the tension disks.
