hi my friend, teach me how to make vinhcraft, thanks for sharing your videos, i'm just here to support your channel, live my friend. #DUDSKIETV🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
At 3:34 is there only one thread going in the tension disk? I can’t find a manual anywhere and can’t get the tension right.
So, since making this video, I've learned from our repair man that that little tension disk doesn't need to be used when set up this way. There's also a way to adjust the tension, by raising and lowering a post at the top near the take up lever (which is a whole other video to come). If you're still having trouble, email us at aibi (at) aibi (dot) com and we'll see how we can help.
💪🏼💪🏼que nivel Ana. Exitos

¡Qué interesante! Ojalá crezcas mucho.🎉
hi how are you my friend thank you for sharing your videos i have learned something again. #DUDSKIETV from phillipines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Absolutely! Dana is a rock star!

Hello, have you ever had the problem of double lines in the patterns when printing the marker, greetings from Nicaragua
Every line is doubled? or it skips and lines are double in some spots?
@@AIBIChicago yeah the sleeves and the body im using accumark vrs 13.2
Can you provide me an email to send you a photo, so you can see what I'm dealing with
Very nice
If the Machin not stopping wat couse
Great video! I learned a ton from this.
I don’t know if you’ll see this but OMG you have the most perfect voice for making whisper ASMR vids. PLEASE consider. I mean you could still talk about sewing or sewing machines but I’d subscribe to your ASMR channel if you started one. ❤
Hello , could you please give me the driver to install in my pc for Digitizer? thanks in advance
We don't have the drivers for this, you will have to talk to the Gerber company directly.
Hello, what files does the plotter accept, if I'm using another pattern making software?
Our plotter does not play nice with non-Gerber files. However, if you're able to export as a .dxf then it can be converted in our system and printed that way. Marker files are preferable, as printing individual pieces will waste a large amount of paper.

Terrific and informative interview
That happens when we have a terrific and informative guest! :)
Great vid!
Thank you!

Can you show me how to thread the others? I had mines in the storage almost 3 years and I forgot how to
Are you looking for a specific machine? You can see all of our threading videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLPW5sNBlWTJoZQcMWWR14NCxkXe5hAFgb.html
Yes, Meilin!
Thanks, excellent explanation.
So glad it's helpful!
I dont know what the point is other than dude is dresed like a chick.
We were unaware that the concept of using sounds by other creators was so foreign on UA-cam Shorts...
@AIBIChicago I didn't know it was a file track. I honestly thought it is the person in the video.
We've gotten several comments about it. The sound says they turn off the stove, so we thought it was a dead giveaway that we used someone else's audio, but maybe we need to put that in the description?
Why do you sound like a man?
Seek a competent mental health professional.
Competent is definitely how we like our mental health professionals...
Dang, when you find out paranoia is an early sign of Alzheimers.
Good to know!
Why is there a man’s voice with a woman’s hand?
That's not a woman's hand. That's a very confused man.
The original sound is from another creator. This video was created to poke fun at our forgetfulness, but also as a reminder that the iron must be unplugged when leaving our fashion lab.

Are you ok?
