It was news to me. Both of my Adler 205s (Grey 205-64 and White 205-370) have the same throat distance of 12.5 inches. If they were any longer, I couldn’t hand crank them with a steering wheel spinner knob. On the suggested tarp-sewing machines, my days of sewing on big tarps are about over. I can’t walk and carry weight much anymore, and the big tarps take a lot of repositioning to get everything to the needle. CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members Cumberland Highpower Posted July 22, 2019 Members Report Posted July 22, 2019 Hello yes they did make the 16" version at the end. It's what they were selling at Weaver before the new ECOs... Here is a link. They were 16" depth machines. https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-8080/weaver-205-sewing-machine-/pr_51532 Quote
