Nancy,
The 306 does zigzag and does use the flat cams. The 206 is the same, but does not use the cams. The 206, 306 & the 319 all use the 206x13 needle and the same bobbins. Both should treadle the same as the 319. If you friend wants to try one let me know, I have several extras in the garage.

I think they all take a 206X13 needle and have the same 'L' bobbin, probably the same little flat cams? Anyone know about the 306 or 206? As you all know, I have the 319w and I love it in a treadle! I have a friend who wants to know if the 306 will go easily into a treadle and how different is the 306 from the 319?
