The Brother 4234D has the same lower looper design as the 2104D, and the Janome model has an older lower looper design. THE RESULTS: Brother solved this with their “F.A.S.T lower looper threading system”. They created a switch that lets you pull out the lower looper. Now you can thread it in plain sight.

A technician said you can expect a nice machine from Brother. The 2104d has electronic speed control for maximum needle penetration even at slow speeds. Its other features include. With the 2104D, threading is a breeze. The 2104D offers an easy to follow thread guide, and Brother's F.A.S.T. lower looper threading system.
