Method for controlling the passage of the fabric through a rotary screen printing installation, whereby a substrate or fabric to be printed is wound from a stock roll and fed into the printing machine of the installation. In order to reduce down times and the waste of mostly expensive substrate the printing machine is set using a fabric of low quality, the so-called leader. The substrate to be printed is sewn to the trailing end of the leader so as to print the substrate after the printing machine is set for first quality printing. The length of substrate is measured and compared with the total length of the print order by means of an electronical processing unit.
