You can choose the number of fabrics to be displayed at a time in the palette. Each palette allows you to display a different number of items based on the type of palette. For example, the Blocks palette lets you display up to 4 columns of blocks at a time. The Fabrics palette, however, lets you display 6 columns of fabric swatches at a time. Right-click to display the menu. Point to Display and choose the display options you want.

You can also change the display by clicking the display buttons at the bottom of the palette. The images on the buttons indicate the type of display each button represents.
