Sew in Rubberlegs    
Sew in Rubberlegs
To sew rubber legs into foam I use a homemade rubberleg needle.
I heat the eye of sewing needle with a cigarette ligher, and
then jamb it down onto the point of another needle to widen
the eye.
To keep from losing these needles I keep a magnet on my tying table:
it's handy for keeping track of loose hooks and needles.
