The same way you would any other fabric.
If your taking off the ribbed edges......you don't have to do anything. If the fabric is heavy enough you just have to trim a bit of the fabric off when you come around the corners when you are stapling it. I had the ridges on my dining chairs and since I used darker and heavier fabric it feels and looks much better.
Either remove the ribbed edge completely and recover the chairs without the edge or remake your own edge as you reupholster it.

If the fabric is not torn or damaged consider painting it with chalk paint. Here is a great video by Annie Sloan https://www.anniesloan.com/techniques/how-to-paint-fabric-with-chalk-paint
