I think the toothpick or whatever is to put space while keeping the thread tight? So that when you lift the button everything is still tight and all you have to do is wrap under. The drawing is… not clear.
Hah, this reminds me of when I had to write repair manuals in college. I’d get so fixated on a particular tool, like a toothpick. I’d start by saying, “I’m definitely going to need this toothpick.”
by the end I probably didn’t even need it, but I included it anyway.

Oh man I thought that was the needle, not a toothpick. Suddenly this makes sense.
The toothpick is to provide spacing for the button, then you pull it out as you wrap the thread around underneath it.
