[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 715435, member: 13090"] Personally, I avoid muslin backdrops like the plague. What I've found works infinitely better is "faux suede", also known as "microsuede". It's available at pretty much any place that sells fabric by the yard. Expect to pay somewhere around $6 or $8 a yard (at least that's what I pay online). Typically faux suede is 100% polyester (so it's machine washable), very durable, comes in pretty much every color under the rainbow and it's *very* wrinkle resistant; which is my main gripe with muslin... I swear muslin wrinkles if you so much as look at it sideways. As I mentioned, I get 60" wide faux suede online: [url=https://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-suede-fabric.aspx?fabric-type=faux-suede]Faux Suede at Fabric (dot) com[/url] but there are plenty of other places that sell it. If you have a Joann's fabrics nearby chances are they carry faux suede, but color choices for the 60" widths has always been pretty grim when I've checked there; one of the many reasons I buy it online. EDIT: Almost forgot... Another great fabric I use for backdrops is [B]velour[/B], which comes with all the advantages of faux suede. [/QUOTE]
