I am in no way an expert, but I would say either Frank's Fabric Glue or drymount. Kool Tack E2 or Fusion. Do you have a piece to test?

If only there were some sort of something that could adhere fabric to something else. Something with a kind of adhesive property to it. We could call it "fabric adhesive."

The problem with felt is it's very nature.
There are cotton, wool, polys, and even silk "Felts"
The get their name from the process itself - - Felting.
They are a non-woven fabric - - which means you need
to penetrate the thickness of the fabric to create a "hold".
Therefore, surface adhesiveness like Fusion, which only addresses
the surface bits of fiber are out.
Frank's, white glue, Maxim, Miracle and such are all fine.
Roll a thicker coat to the board and wet mount it. (Yellow foam roller)

A woman walked into an upholstery shop and asked "Is this where you get felt?"
Sorry, couldn't resist!
I agree that Frank's glue should work well for this!
