[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Styluses

[Debbie Gabe]

But I will add one caveat - and that is do not make the stylus too sharp. If it is too sharp, the dots will feel smaller than you might want.

Hello,
I use the saddle, stylus and love it.
I think the main problem you may be having is that your stylus point is not sharp enough. You can sharpen your stylus using a whetstone which is used to sharpen knives or sandpaper or a file. Sharpen it evenly all around the point by rubbing it back-and-forth on your sharpening medium. Test often to see if it is sharp enough.
