Cutting small pattern pieces for stained glass
Cutting glass is actually a two step process. The Glass is first scored, then it is broken. To score the glass hold your glass cutter like a pencil and try out a few cuts by going forward or backward but never go back over your line to prevent damage on the blade. Your knife should be well oiled; either you have added cutting oil in your glass cutter or just lubricate the blade with oil. When cutting small pieces for stained glass, and I can’t emphasis this enough, safety glasses are a must. Safety first, Some people like to wear gloves but they are a little hard to work with. You won’t mind the cuts after a while, they are part of this hobby.
