The rayon threads gives a pretty "gleem" to the embroidery but I have seen some done with just regular thread. I did however purchase cotton thread (when it was on sale at Joann's) and will try that as well for freestanding lace. And btw, Joann's will have ALL of their thread on 50% off I believe starting April 15-18th. I usually buy sulky thread (never had a problem with it) and at 1/2 price its a deal.
