Sew it together, hang it up and shoot. I like acouple of drapery weight in the bottom. I put gromets in the corners and use 3m hook on the wall or you can clip them to a backdrop stand

I use fabric quite a bit. I just buy the widest fabric possible. I have spots of velcro that I have placed on my shooting wall and then I have attached velcro to the back of my fabric so I can interchange easily. I found that it was easier to do the velcro than to try and keep the fabric straight by clamping it or hanging it from a muslin track.
