My mom's got at least 3 that she uses for different purposes.  She does a 
fair amount of quilt making, but also does an awful lot of custom work - 
from upholstery to wedding dresses.  She's also started teaching others 
her craft, through her part-time job (working - where else - in a fabric 
store).

I think anyone who's sewed for any length of time has managed that.  I 
even managed it back in middle school (when it was a required course at 
the school I went to).
