I use bobbins as spools as I posted for my FW because it has a vertical spool pin.
Crosswound thread the thread leaves the spool over the top, straight wound thread the thread leaves the spool sideways. Older machines have the straight up spool pin for straight wound thread. The newer machines have a horizontal spool pin or thread pole for crosswound thread. All spools can be used on a thread stand. Using left over bobbins from a LA to sew on a machine has been used for decades.
There is a years old device to have the bobbins become a spool called the Bobinator.
