A method and apparatus for operating a textile machine, such as an automatic bobbin winder or an automatic spinning machine, include subdividing a course of operation into individual operating steps; monitoring at least one of the operating steps with at least one sensor for detecting presence, absence or movement past the sensor of an article connected to the textile machine or success or failure of a provision or an operating step and tripping an automatic intervention into the course of operation as a function of the outcome of the detection. According to the method, the functional capability of the sensor is automatically monitored, and an automatic switch over takes place from the operating program to a prepared substitute program no longer requiring the sensor for continued operation of the textile machine after failure of the sensor. The apparatus includes a device connected to the at least one sensor for operating the textile machine according to an operating program and a predetermined substitute program assuring continued operation of the textile machine even if the at least one sensor has failed. A device is connected to the operating device for automatically monitoring capability of the at least one sensor. A switchover device is connected to the monitoring device for switching over textile machine operation from the operating program to the substitute program after a failure of the at least one sensor ascertained by the monitoring device.
