Any recommendations for a flexible glue on stretch fabric

Hi does anyone have any recommendations for a glue that could be used to glue the hem on a pair of gym leggings? One of the ladies at the gym asked me today but before I offer to sew the hem up for her, thought I'd ask this knowledgeable group 😀

I would use hemming tape like wonderweb - I use it to hem jersey garments and you press it in place with the iron

Thanks Hayley. I wasn't sure if that would stretch enough around the leg hem.

I have used Vlieseline Stretchfix tape for hemming jersey fabrics.
