Steven,

There shouldn't be any problems in doing what you have asked.

First, are you properly editing the stylesheet?  If so, then you should see 
immediate changes to a notebook file.  Let's call this notebookA.nb

- Create notebookA.nb.
- Insert a Title cell (Format > Style > Title)
- Go to Format > Edit Stylesheet... > Edit Shared Style sheet.
- Expand the cellgroup "Styles for Headings"
- With the mouse, select the cell for Prototype for style: "Title":
- Go to Format > Font > and pick some font that's easily distinguishable from 
Times New Roman
(You should now see changes done to notebookA.nb)
- Save your stylesheet in the directory you mentioned in your email.

- Create a new notebook in the FrontEnd (notebookb.nb)
- Goto Format > Stylesheet > Other...
- Locate and choose your stylesheet.  Apply the stylesheet to notebookb.nb
- Now create a Title cell.  It should have the proper font.
