Here is a link to explain some of the Hedebo technique, which most of you likely know already:
http://www.bobbinmaker.com/hedebofaq.html I have done the same effect in cutwork, where I draw a design, do running stitch for the base, and decorate/strengthen with buttonhole stitch, etc. but not a Hedebo stick. Fillings (like wraps on the Hedebo stick) would be have been done to fill for decoration or to cover the foundation running stitches, create relief, etc. It is fun to learn new techniques. The item in the picture was of the same diameter for at least half the length (excepting the finial), so one would have to be making the same size circle, and sans finial at the other end.
