I just set up my magnifier and it came with a little drawstring bag and lots of warnings in the instruction sheet. Now I know why! Glad all turned out well.

Stained glass sun catchers can do the same thing if they are in the wrong window.

Good info to put out there. We had a guild member that this happened to. Now most of us now hang a cute homemade bag over the magnifying glass.

I'm glad you were not seriously hurt, but sunlight and magnifiers can be a dangerous combination. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the warning - I hadn't even though about it!

And, Tartan, I like your idea!

Thanks for the reminder and glad you caught it before much damage. I am thinking about getting a magnifier and will heed your warning, I wouldn't have thought about it. I guess my brain is getting as dim as my eyes.
