Cotton Sheeting for Scenic & backdrop cloth
Scenic and backdrop work needs cloth in one very wide, seamless piece, with a surface that takes scenic paint or a large-format print evenly. This is a classic use for a 140-inch loom — a drop that would otherwise be seamed or netted together comes off in a single width.
What we recommend
Wide, smooth, absorbent plain cotton — the standard painted-backdrop and print-base cloth.
