cool huh? LOL good luck.
There was a post on this a few weeks ago that talked about impression mats and had some great suggestions for freehanding it. I'm going to try to attack the link.

If the link doesn't work, go to the search screen and type in swiss dots. Towards the bottom of the page, there's a post titled "Are there any tricks to doing evenly spaced dots?" by treys_girl04, posted on May 4, 2006.
Hope this helps! I'm going to attempt to do my first swiss dot cake soon, too (for fun). I think they look so pretty.
