A pin tenter clamp for a tenter apparatus has a clamp base on which tenter pins are disposed. The clamp base is provided with a hinge about which a clamp top plate is pivotable. A resilient, elastomeric clamp pad is disposed on a side of the clamp top plate facing the clamp base and tenter pins. The clamp top plate is biased away from the clamp base to open the pin tenter clamp. Between the clamp top plate and clamp base is a stripper plate having openings through which the tenter pins may extend when the pin tenter clamp is closed. The stripper plate also has a resilient, elastomeric clamp pad having openings aligned with those in the stripper plate. When the pin tenter clamp is open, the stripper plate resides above the tenter pins. In use on a tenter apparatus, the present pin tenter clamp first holds the fabric to be stretched between the resilient, elastomeric clamp pads before the tenter pins may extend therethrough. As the pin tenter clamp is gradually opened after the stretching of the fabric, the resilient, elastomeric clamp pads hold the fabric while the tenter pins are withdrawn, and release the fabric only after this has taken place.
