Can you wash felt fabric without it shrinking or bleeding?

I want to put felt appliques onto a few of my shirts, but I know that felt can bleed or shrink. Is there a type of felt/a way to sew on felt that won't make it do that?Can you wash felt fabric without it shrinking or bleeding?
I would pre-wash the felt before using it. This way you can test if they bleed or not. Also, many fabric shrink a little, not just felt. Therefore, it is advice to pre-wash the fabric before working on it.





When you wash the felt, put it in a laundry bag of appropriate size, before putting into the washing machine. Don't put it in the dryer. And these rules are for both before working on and after working on the felt.





For felt on shirts already, turn the shirt inside out, before putting in the laundry bag.Can you wash felt fabric without it shrinking or bleeding?
I saw on a quilting show not long ago a woman who was using acrylic felt as padding %26amp; color in some trapunto she was doing. The fabric it was being applied to was white and she said the acrylic felt would not bleed. She didn't say anything about needing to wash and dry it first, for shrinkage or fading, and I'm sure she would have. Why don't you take a piece of the felt, wet it, and then pin it to some light-colored fabric to see if it bleeds. Also, cut a piece of the felt, lay it on a piece of paper and draw an outline, then wash and dry it, and check the size against your drawing. Good luck
