the 306 is a really great machine !!! check the manual for the size of the needle. This may be one of the Singers that takes a 206x13 needle. it is little shorter(or is it longer ?) than usual, but you do need this size to sew well. people have talked of using regular needles, but do not do it.
just check the manual to be sure of size. needles are available at Singer repair shops or lots of places online.
you will love this machine. be sure to first oil and clean everything that the manual tells you to. and maintain by oiling when the manual says to. if you do not have a manual, check online. Singer site sometimes has free downloads.
