No, I don't think it is the same. I have both some Moda Marbles and some Batiks, and the Moda Marble feels like the other quilt fabrics I have. It is nice, but printed, where the Batik is a dyed fabric. The Batik feels like a higher thread ct and the Marble is easy to quilt through. But I am hand quilting, I'm sure for machine quilting it wouldn't make much difference.
