I use a canning jar with a wire hanger wrapped around the lip and twisted to make the loop for the thread. That obviously wouldn't work for actually on the Tin Lizzie. Good luck rigging something ladies!

I use a thread stand which I then place to the right and slightly behind my Babylock Ellageo. The stand doesn't get in the way when I'm machine quilting.
The deelybobs set on the upright spindle of the machine, which on mine is optional. When in use it is placed on the bobbin winder. What a stupid place to put it, because you have to take it off to wind a bobbin. So I still need the cone stand when I wind the bobbins.
The only problem I have with the cone thread stand is my cat catches the thread on her tail and strings the thread around the room so I have to make sure she can't walk between the machine and the stand.
While I'm sewing she sleeps in a basket to the right and back behind the machine and thread stand.

I purchased mine very inexpensively a few years ago. I love it.
When I use it on my Pfaff 7570 I put the plastic spool adaptor on my upright spindle then the deelybop so it has something flat to rest on. I then put on the spool - I use the spools of
signature cotton thread for all my piecing. I also use the smaller deelybop for the thread with the carboard centers and that works great. I have not used the "washers" for anything.
I use this on my babylock quilters pro also.
