Basically I have found some really nice curtains I would like but they are only available with eyelets to go on a pole.
We have a track, with no option of fitting a pole because the window goes right upto the wall. Is there anyway I can make these curtains work?!

As a rule I would normally get a pair of wall brackets and fit the pole onto them. https://www.google.com/search?q=answerbank&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=curtain+pole+end+wall+brackets Failing this I would get the wife to cut the eyelets off ( providing the curtains have enough drop).

Failing this I would get the wife to cut the eyelets off ( providing the curtains have enough drop). Hem them and fit a head tape to accept conventional curtain rings/hooks ... then they can be fitted to a track.
Have done it loads of times .. never fails !
Eyelet curtains are only meant to be hung on a pole.
As I see it the only way to hang them on a track would be to cut the tops off below the eyelets, fold over and add header tape. Of course they'd need to be long enough to allow that.
snap! ^ ^ :)

I have never seen the wall brackets before, fingers crossed they will do the job to save me getting my needle and thread out!
Many thanks to you both.
Depending on the thickness of the pole and the distance it will be suspended over ... you may well need a central support for the pole/poles.
