As said, shift 1-2 while just moving. 2-3 at about 12-15mph. Nice and slow and feel the shifter slip along. No need to double clutch.
Down shifts are different. Double clutch. Until used to it, its better to raise the engine speed a bit too high then leave it a bit too low. Take your time, you'll get used to it.
Like most things, its a learned skill.

I'm so used to double clutching I even double clutch my Mitchell O/D. In fact I'm so used to double clutching I sometimes find myself double clutching my F-150... and it's an automajic.
