I tried to do some RI dots and everytime I try I end up with more of a dash. I want them tiny so am using a tip one. Cannot figure out how you all get those dainty little dots! As soon as I stop pressure and lift the tip the icing stretches and then falls to the side making a dash...grrr.
TIA

try this...make your dot, stop pressure, make a swirl and pull the tip away to the side. Making the swirl should break the icing and keep it from stretching. OR maybe thinner icing??
I always end up with a point on my dot
Me too....
If you're using royal and it 'stretches' as you mentioned, it may be TOO loose. Try adding a little powdered sugar to firm it up a tiny bit. That way it won't stretch as much.
For those 'points' that always seem to happen, I tear off a 2" by 2" square of Viva paper towel, cover my index fingertip and gently pat them down. Just a quick pat and they're gone! 
I just realized that it must be the icing I'm using....duh!!!! 
I used toba's glaze for my cookies and just use that for the details....so, since it has corn syrup as an ingredient that must be the issue. I'm embarassed. I should have realized that. I guess I'll have to stop being lazy and make royal for accents.
Thanks for all you're help.

You could also use a very small decorator's brush, dipped in cornstarch, and smooth the tip of them out right after you make them.
