I'm a total newbie at choosing yarn. I have a studio 360 machine. There was some yarn that said lace fingering. would that be suitable to use? This is where I'm looking.

I assume you're talking about the fingering wt. yarn you buy such as at a Joann's, etc. I use just cone wt. yarn with my machine. I'm fortunate to have a supplier within driving distance or she'll ship as well. This yarn is already waxed so goes thru the machine well. I have used the skeins with my bulky machine but do run it over a pc. of wax while going thru the feeders. If you have some cone yarn, take a sm. sample with you to your yarn supplier to compare the wts. You can then adjust your gauge accordingly.

I looked at the yarn but am not familiar with the yarn count of 2/6. If it is fingering lace weight it should certainly go through a standard gauge machine but it might be very fine. If so, you can use two beds together.

I have a 360 also, and yes, the fingering yarn will work. If you buy it on the cone sometimes it will be called 2/12 or 3/12. I have also used fine baby yarn skeins. If you want to weave with your machine you can use the finer thread in the needles and weave with heavier (worsted) yarn.
