mdiaz - are you really talking about heel & toe (where the brake pedal is involved) or just double-clutch downshifting to get the revs matched (and lose the jerking)?

Pedal spacing on most cars isn't particularly conducive to true heel-toe'ing, and for most street driving the simpler double-clutch is sufficient.

Either way, it's a "feel" thing that comes with practice.

On edit . . . the wider the transmission gear ratios are spaced, the more you have to kick the gas to get the revs matched. In most cars, dropping into 1st from 2nd at any speed above a jog is more trouble than it's really worth.
