I try to keep my revs >1000 when I'm engaging in 1st.

So here is my process say at stop light flat surface:
1. Disengage clutch (press in clutch pedal) & lift foot off brakes
2. Start to release clutch and about a little before the engagement point I rev up to around 1200-1500 rpm.
3. Once I feel the clutch start engage, I continue maintatin the revs to keep from stalling/chattering
4. as the clutch engages more I start to apply more throttle (the key here is smoothness).
