I use just a tad bit of glue at the beginning to secure the fabric around the end of the clothesline and also about every 5 - 6 inches or so to keep it taught as I wrap the line. The woman who wrote the book that I use suggests using a glue stick. It works okay...but I'm just not a fan of using glue sticks. Sometimes the stuff just gets kind of gummy. Personally I prefer using liquid stitch...just a tiny drop works just fine. Elmer's glue might work as well, I just haven't tried it. And I wouldn't recommend fray check or something similar that requires good ventilation...there's no need to expose yourself to something that could be an irritant when something less toxic can be used.
