Default Stippling

I need to learn to stipple. So far my efforts are less than satisfactory. I have a MRTHE stippling template that seems to basically create a sharp point. When I try to stipple, it just gets stuck in the metal and I have to physicaly move it to the next spot. I have tried dulling the point, but it doesn't help. I have stippled for years on silver with a very sharp hard metal point mounted on my Foredom hammer piece. I can draw a line of stipple and it goes very quickly. I could keep using this hammer tool, but it seems to me that I should learn to stipple with my air graver. Can anyone offer some suggestions. Thanks...Rob
