The 306K and the 319 use #173058, the closed front bobbin case. Though, some machines can interchange...Singer started switching out the hook assemblies of the models some time during manufacturing. Did you get a 306K or W?
Yep, just my luck! I have the 319w and now the 306w - which don't use the same bobbin case! I am glad I did not know that when I bought this machine - I may have passed it by! Jeese! I love learning, and these machines amaze me all the time! What was Singer thinking? Making 3 machines almost identical, but with different bobbin cases? No wonder these machines didn't make it for long!
