See my reply in this thread.
As for wrinkles, a lot of photographer's find this a good thing about muslin (since it provides some "character" to the background, compared to something like seamless paper) and have no problem smashing their muslin into a tiny bag for storage. =] |

I think in most cases (for photo backdrops), graceful folds are good but wrinkles are bad. But muslin is light, cheap, compressible, and neutral in tone/color. |

I like them all wrinkled up. The painted ones get a little extra wrinkly, but if you let them hang for a bit, or clamp them down and just give them a little tug you can suppress the biggest of the wrinkles. I hate folds... I can deal with wrinkles, but creases are the worst! I checked on prices of raw and bleached muslin... If you can get a good deal on E-Bay, its actually not much more to have them made versus making them yourself. BUT you do have to pay close attention to the auctions. The most I paid for any muslin was about $50 for a 10'x24' white muslin. The really nice ones are really pricy though, so I've been considering making some myself as well.
