Some Hedebo forms include counted thread work, drawn thread work and square cutwork, while other Hedebo forms, such as Hvidsøm, Baldyring and Udklipshedebo belong to the free embroidery techniques. Ena Hvidberg, former director of the Greve Museum, proposed an approximate and general dating of these techniques, which shows how the Hedebo embroideries have developed during the period c. 1700-1870.
