Cathy I have had no dealings with the Touch and Throws, so I will gladly take you word for their worth! The thing is that I have my 319w in treadle and I love using the treadle! She has the most wonderful stitches and it is just so cool to do decorative stitches with the treadle! The Touch and Sew's would not be candidates for a treadle and my friend really wants a machine like my 319w with decorative stitches to treadle. I have heard the whole series - 206, 306, and 319w have a very loud irritating sounding motor, but in treadle the 319w is so quiet and smooth running. She really wants a 319w if she can find one at a reasonable price, but I will tell her to call you about the 306! That sounds like a fun one to try treadling too!
