Select:
1) a plane (or planar face) on which to

sketch closed contour(s)

or

2) an existing sketch to use for the feature.

In the "Wrap Type" section select the "Emboss" option to add material; in the "Wrap

Method" we'll use the "Spline Surface" option because the bottle's surface is

irregular. In the "Wrap Parameters" select the bottle's face to wrap the sketch onto

it and enter a 0.01 0" height for the emboss. If needed, we can reverse the direction

to wrap the sketch in the other side of the surface. Click OK to finish.

If we try to use the "Analytical" wrap method in this case, we will not be

able to select the bottle's face because it is an irregular surface.
