Yes if it is paper - NO if it is plastic coated!

Any plain paper can be ironed - plastic coated gets goopy!
Try laying it flat under a cutting mat or putting a weight of books on it for a week or two. Jeannie

Ps, I love the back! I probably would never look at the front!

I would go to a good frame shop (avoid Michael's, JoAnn's, etc.) and have them frame it so that you can hang it either way... or they can give you other suggestions. I've found that a good frame shop is less expensive than those that claim 50% off and do a MUCH better job!

Yes I think ironing it would work. I'd put it where it is most excessible. Hey I bought a cheap color wheel from Walmart and I use it all the time.

One question to consider is whether or not you want to be able to take this with you when you select fabric to buy. Another question is whether or not you want to be able to move it to a better source of light when you are considering color choices in your home.

What about one of those floating frames I have seen at JoAnns? I'm sure Aaron brothers would have it as well. If you are do it yourselfer, here is a link on how to make one: http://www.ehow.com/how_5717931_buil...e-frames.html.

Another idea similar to what others have posted is go to FedEx and get it laminated.

I love the color wheel. I may do this myself.

There are small color wheels for taking with you to the quilt shop.

"Unfortunately, there are several creases in it from being folded in it's package, as they do not come rolled up but folded in thirds each way. Would love to lessen these creases somehow."

Just iron it...............

You bring up some great considerations, and for that I do have a plan. I already own Joen W.'s original Color Tool that fans out like a deck of cards, making it quite portable. Fortunately, I have this aspect covered. Thanks for raising the questions, tho. :thumbup:
