Wow you guys, I guess you really do learn something new everyday. My new learnin' is that they are actually still manufacturing those things! Really, mine was a vintage 70's model. I don't know whether it's funny or sad that they haven't been able to improve the damn thing in decades. 
I agree GG, it's easier and quicker to just hand-stitch than muck with that thing. It was bittersweet but I finally got a sewing machine when my Gramma died. That made tossing the POS all the easier!
