Where do you find a large spool holder and bobbins for a EuroPro 9106?

Sorry, I have no idea where you are, to suggest any place for you. But there are times when I need to hold a large 'cone' of thread at my sewing machine. Put the cone of thread in a large container, and running the thread through the 'eye' of a safety pin ( that you would tape to the sewing machine ) and run the thread past the stem where a spool of thread would normally sit, then thread the machine as usual. It works very well. I hope this is helpful for you.
