Reducing Glass – Below is a close-up photo of a reducing glass. Below that is a picture of what it looks like using a reducing glass. Notice the 3 house blocks on the left; they are much smaller in the reducing glass. Sometimes this makes it easier to look at the overall design and make decisions about your quilt. Today, it is probably just as easy to take digital photos of your quilt and then compare them.

Where can I buy a reducing glass?
Hello! I bought mine in a quilt store years ago. That store no longer carry these. I’ve searched the web and found one place that has a reducing glass. Here’s the link – https://www.magnifier.com/reducing-lens-reducing-glass-for-artists-rlc-s.htm
Looks like I need to take better care of mine as I see a used one selling on eBay for almost $100! Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful – Thanks for visiting LearnHowToQuilt.com.
