seamer

One who joins

A seamer is a cricket ball bowled to move off the seam when it hits the pitch, or the bowler who specializes in this delivery.

The seam—the raised stitching around the ball—causes unpredictable lateral movement when it contacts the ground.

In tailoring, a seamer is a sewing machine attachment that joins fabric edges.
