The pictures are clear and the colors of the book look so good on the white bookshelf! It came folded and I was worried about smoothing out the creases. I sewed a hem at the top and bottom so I could stand it on the backdrop stand and then used PVC pipe at the bottom hem to make the backdrop heavier. Since I had to edit it to sew it on the sewing machine, it wrinkled even more. I tried ironing it and the vinyl started to shrink. But I used a clothes steamer and it really helped! All wrinkles are gone - it just took patience to steam them out while the background was hanging. This is a nice background that we will use to scale our activities.
