Mine is a wallhanging about 18" x 58."

Could I start at the bottom and go to the top? Could I respray if it starts to come undone like yours did?
Yes, you can. The edges will start to come unstuck a little as you work; try pressing them firmly back down and if that doesn't work, use a little spray. I spray baste everything and usually do some overall quilting like stitch-in-the-ditch or a few vertical or horizontal lines overall first, then go back and do some other quilting. Not saying you have to, but it works for me. You need to figure out what works best for you as we're all different! ;)
