Default First Self portriat with AB800 C&C please

Well this was my first use of 3x AB800. 1x AB800 Front with large Photoflex softbox 1x AB800 Med Softbox 45 degress to left of camera 1x AB800 pointed at backdrop.

Used bleached white Muslin Fabric bought from Jo-Anns 9' x 15' $29.00

Questions:

1) How to get ride of rinckles in fabric to make seamless.

2) I used Sek-359 meter, with radio transmitter for my PW. When metering with meter do you have to meter each strob first, meaning turn one on the others off and take reading? or Can I point the meter at the strob with the dome recess with all strobes on and meter? Then use the dome extended point at camera for my appature reading.
