I wish. Bedsheets do not give uniform lighting. I think it's because cotton
fibers are more opaque, and less regular, than whatever the Calumet panels
are made from.
I find that shooting a strobe directly through a Calumet panel produces just
a wee bit too much shadow. I either use a diffuser or an umbrella in front
of the fabric.
