seamers

They close garments

Seamers are cricket balls bowled to swing or cut off the seam—the raised stitching around the ball's equator.

The term also refers to bowlers who specialize in this technique, relying on seam movement rather than spin or raw pace: He's primarily a seamer who gets good movement off the pitch.

In textile contexts, seamers are workers or machines that join fabric edges.
