Abstract
Various examples are provided related to seamer systems and methods that can be used at the end of a sewing process to secure sewing medium in sewn material by creating a knot. Excess sewing medium can be removed after forming knot at the sewn material. A clamp can secure a portion of the sewing medium while allowing at least one element of the sewing medium to pass through the clamp. A material stabilizer can align the sewing medium to form the knot and sever the excess sewing medium after the knot is formed.
