DIY curtain project - where to get track?

I'm thinking of making some curtains to save the $200-350. Have any of you done this? Where did you get/ what did you use for a track? Thanks,

KJ

No ideas? The local fabric store didn't have 'em.

I understand that there's more that goes into it - tiebacks, etc. I just dropped all my money on wheels, so I thought it would be fun to try and make a set on my own. Thanks!

right length of fabric, lots of double sided tape,
the tracks, lots and lots of T-clips, velcro.

You can get tracks at pretty much any Autobacs in Japan. I was there for the first half of this year and I'll be going again this November...I'd offer to grab some for you but it's like 5 months away. If you want them soon, maybe see if anyone of the boards is going to be in Japan this summer and can hook you up.
