I have never known Spirea to be layered. It is quite likely possible.
Cuttings at about 5" in length are the best however.

do these propagate by bending the stem down and making contact with soil?
or the tip?

In July / August look for some half-ripe new growths. These can be rooted

a sandy soiled cold frame. Divisions are possible between October and
March.

At my daughter's house there is a "shoebutton" spirea that is blooming.
I'd
like to start some of these for my yard. What kind of cuttings do I
take?
I
don't see any branches without flowers down the ends. The branches are
very
thin and brittle. We looked for suckers at the bottom but don't see
any I
could take.
