Hey, you're talking to a guy who owns about 70 machines. 7 or 8 (or 9 or 10) seems really minimal to me!
So for me, minimally:
1. Zig-zag medium duty industrial
2. 5-thread coverstitch
3. 4-thread overlock
4. All-purpose zig-zag (including chain stitch feature, cams, built-in buttonhole, etc.)
5. Straight stitch
6. Free arm zig-zag
(2. and 3. could be combined in a single industrial machine.)
Possibly:
1. Straight stitch heavy duty industrial
2. Buttonhole machine (this is only out of curiosity and the coolness factor)
3. Embroidery machine (same)
