Fabric appliques with a Cricut?
I found a youtube tutorial on making fabric appliques with a Cricut machine with Steam A Seam 2, but my question is how well will it hold up in the washer? Should it be handwashed or is there any precautions I could take to ensure that it stays intact?

I use Steam A Seam for many projects that are washed. Be sure to follow the instructions. Apply the steam for the right amount of time, let the fabric cool, remove the paper, steam again and cool.
If you move the item while it is still warm, the adhesive can shift as it is still soft.
As an extra precaution, wash the item inside out, or put in a lingerie bag when machine washing.
Tell me what you're thinking...
