A toe closer has a plurality of elongated carriers for supporting hose for seaming, a sewing machine to seam their toes and a clamp mechanism for sequentially conveying toe ends past the sewing machine. The carriers move continuously around a closed path traversing a straight section of the path directly opposite the clamp mechanism. The clamp mechanism includes a stationary worktable associated with the sewing machine, and a carriage movable to and fro carrying a movable worktable section and a coacting, intermittently movable clamping belt which is supported in a belt carrier atop the carriage. Drive means move the carriage towards the sewing machine in unison with movement of each carrier along the straight section of the path while the toe end of a hose on each carrier is fed into the clamp mechanism; thereafter the belt is set in motion to slide the toe end from table section to table and across the latter in front of the sewing machine for the latter to produce the required seam.
