A U-shaped groove is formed in a glass sheet along a cutting line and the sheet is cut by breaking along the groove. The groove is formed by heating a sheet portion including the cutting line by a laser beam, cooling it to lower its density, and etching that portion to dissolve it. Every surface exposed by cutting the sheet has a pair of edges which are properly beveled and rounded.
