How to properly store your Muslin Background?

* Scrunch the muslin loosely rather than folding it to prevent patterned creases or folds that would need to be smoothed before your session. The "scrunch" will create random wrinkles that will add dimension and depth to your muslin backdrop. Afterwards, place in a plastic bin or cloth bag for easy storage.

* For a seamless, wrinkle-free Muslin backdrop affect, leave your Muslin hanging on a Savage Port-a-Stand.
