[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 286274, member: 12496"] The local fabric stores here have tons of beached white muslin, various thicknesses and widths, and not expensive, relatively. It is popular for the studio purpose. Muslin does wrinkle, and storing it folded is bad news, so many photographers just wad it up in a big ball and stuff in it a sack. It still wrinkles, but many random irregular wrinkles then, which distance and wide aperture could hide. Folded makes big bold obvious straight seams as wrinkles. Either way, we really need a fabric steamer to remove them, and then folded becomes a little simpler. Rolling it on a rod is probably better, I never tried that. The seamless paper is not very expensive, but the shipping cost becomes prohibitive. The muslin is much more durable, and we can also do things like dye it, or tie-dye it, or paint it, etc. It comes in white, or black, or an unbleached sort of straw color. Look into muslin, it is the obvious choice. [/QUOTE]
