In a method of and apparatus for thermally cutting a piece of glass along an intended path of cut, a thermal or mechanical means modifies a stress profile at a back edge of the piece of glass along the intended path of cut to eliminate edge flare. A heat source concentrates heat on a major surface of the piece along the intended path of cut, and the thermal or mechanical means places a major surface that faces away from the heat source in compression at the back edge so that a fracture will run along the intended path of cut.
