I've found that small bungee cords (or the poor-boy version, an old bicycle inner tube cut with a scissors into very many tough rubber bands just as thick or thin as you wish) is a great add-on to tent and tarp guy lines. When those big gusts of wind arrive, the elasticity of the added-on stretchy thing allows the wind to buffet the tent or tarp about, but prevents tent stakes from being dislodged, or tarps from becoming shredded. No stitches are needed when the elastic, instead of the fabric, takes the strain.
