Felt made of acrylic fibers WILL fall apart when washed by machine.

Felt made of wool is actually CREATED by machine washing and drying woven wool fabric.

Can felt letters be glued on felt material with fabric glue and still be put in wash machine?

It depends on the fabric glue. Some fabric glues are specifically designed to be "washable", and these are likely to stand up to machine washing ... at least a few times. If you need something that can be washed repeatedly, just bite the bullet and sew it on (though machine washing felt in general can be problematic; wool felt tends to shrink, and acrylic felt tends to melt in the dryer).

What are the disadvantages of felt material?

A disadvantage of felt is it can be difficult to clean. Felt clothing can't be tossed into the washing machine, as it's prone to shrink in warm and hot water. Also another disadvantage is that it can attract moths. When felt clothing is worn (for example) the wool will absorb sweat and moisture, which are the primary water source for the moths. As the pests feed on the clothing, they can create holes in the fabric, which can ruin the garment. Hope this helps :)
