So, how do you store your muslin when you are not using it? Do you fold it or "wad" it up?

    The rentals I've used are always wadded up into the bag.

    If you fold them, you'll have regular crease marks. By wadding, they'll be
    more random and add to the texture of the background.

    That's what I thought, but my wife wanted to fold them up. I figured if we did that we would end up ironing the things.

    Thanks!

    Plus if you regularly crease them, they will wear at the creases.

    I suppose you could store them on a roller as well :D
