Abstract: A substantially transparent display sheet for mounting of fabric and trim samples is provided which allows one to easily view the samples directly against various furniture and fabrics to determine color coordination. The samples are mounted on the display sheet so as to provide sufficient free space adjacent each of the samples to permit the fabric/furniture to be easily viewed through the sheet. A sample book is also provided which includes a front and back cover, and plurality of stacked display sheets bound therebetween.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing fabric samples is provided. The method includes applying an adhesive in the form of a web at predetermined intervals along a length of fabric, and cutting the fabric into a series of individual fabric samples such that the adhesive overlies the side edges and/or end edges of the fabric samples, preventing fraying of the edges. The apparatus includes rollers for applying the adhesive web onto the fabric and a heating device for heating and adhering the adhesive onto the fabric. The treated fabric samples may be assembled into a book or binder for use.
