A saddle stitching machine is modified by attaching a device which permits the machine to process outside Z-folded sheets when collating a plurality of sheets together for a magazine or other publication. The device operates in synchronization with a suction take-offs and gripper disc of a pocket to permit the sheets to be removed from a stack and deposited on a saddle without jamming. The device utilizes one or more oscillating fingers operating off a cam journaled to the shaft of the gripper disc, and air jets to facilitate transport of each sheet through the stitcher for deposit on the saddle.
