To provide a textile machine capable of improving positioning accuracy of a drive member without depending on mounting accuracy.
An automatic winder (textile machine) comprises an upper-yarn catching member 30, a stepping motor, a magnet sensor, a number-of-pulse counting section, and a drive control section. The stepping motor moves the upper-yarn catching member 30 by an amount corresponding to a specified number of pulses. The magnet sensor detects an origin position, which is a reference position, of the upper-yarn catching member 30. The number-of-pulse counting section obtains an actual measurement value, which is the number of pulses necessary for moving the upper-yarn catching member 30 from a target position to the origin position. The drive control section determines a standby position of the upper-yarn catching member 30 in view of the actual measurement number counted by the number-of-pulse counting section, a theoretical value, and the origin position.
