Absolutely yes!
In our country, sewing machines did not go into mass production until the 1850's, when Isaac Singer built the first commercially successful machine. Yet within less that 25 years, there were tens of thousands of machines in homes across the country. In the newly struggling homes of "the wild west", the tgreadle sewing machine ofgten held a place of honor and can often be seen standing with the family outside their "soddy'; homes o the prairies.
Women weren't stupid! They were put upon. But they knew to use ever possible help available to them for the massive amout of work for which they were responsible in a day and night.
I have seen quilts from the 1870s that have not only been machine pieced but machine quilted as well. Surely 1870s quilts are more than "vintage".
When questions like these come up, in general, I ask the questioner/"police" if they card their own batts as well as doing everything else by hand.
Yes, machine piece it if you wish!
