For most domestic machines that would be a vertical spool pin instead of horizontal and on my LA it is exactly the opposite (a horizontal spool pin). I would not be able to run this thread on my Bernina without improvising something but I have run it on my LA as I have a special side spindle just for stack wound threads. It will easily stretch out of shape if it is not loaded properly and then it will break.
they sell an attachment just for this purpose called the thread director I think.
