A vacuum insulating glass (IG) unit and method of making the same. An edge seal of the vacuum IG unit includes at least one fiber (e.g. elongated glass fiber) provided at least partially between first and second opposing substrates in order to hermetically seal off a low pressure space between the substrates. A plurality of spacers are located between the substrates to space the substrates from one another and maintain the low pressure space therebetween. |
