Wow... that's a cool machine. The discs it takes are the flat ones? or the 'top hat' looking ones? Just curious.
It takes the flat cams. I love my 306. I don't sew on it much anymore, but if I had to chose an electric, it would be a 15-91 for straight stitching and a 306 for decorative and ZZ. (Maybe I'd use the 201 for sewing clothes!!!!)
