Handling muslin backgrounds

Hi Skip,

I just wad up muslins in a bag, then use a quick trick of using a water bottle to get the wrinkles out when I pull them out again. I wrote a quick article on the topic on my web site. It works quite well and only takes a couple minutes on site.

The stuff method...grab a random handful, stuff; repeat as necessary!

I kinda figured that one out, I just need to get a feel for a "random handful" I guess.

Many thanks for the water spray tip, Tim. That sounds like it's a lot easier to do than using a travel steamer.

No sweat Skip. Just remember to use clean, filtered or bottled water. I have really hard water and don't want all that calcium buildup on my muslins.

Yep... We have a softener for the whole house AND a micro-filter in the kitchen. I would use that, just like I use it for our steam iron, batteries, etc.
